From the two names engraved on Accrington's WW1/2 memorial, through the Falklands Stone in Aldershot cemetery (near the Warrenpoint bench) and the "Yomping Cabbagehead" at the RM museum to the cairns on South Georgia (9 Sqn RE and probably others) there are quite a few. dave

 .)Packs of marauding bootnecks in Pompey's pubs at one time looking for who bent his gun... eventually accepted it had been bent from day one...:  Looks a bit incongruous now teapot row is all posh flats.

Was going to pass a flippant comment here, but decided against it!  I agree about the statue though. It's certainly one of the better modern memorials. Dave

|  I was kind of expecting something along those lines. I should just like to disassociate myself from this Stalinist airbrushing of my post if any bootnecks happen to be reading this. (there you go, 'reading', that's another opening for you )

However, I very much doubt that, even if he has died, that he'll be found on any of the Falklands War memorials that this thread is about!!!  dave
